With severe rationing, I can probably last 7-10 days with the food I have at my desk.
Yikes, I could probably only eat for 3 days or so.

It's entirely possible that if I was stuck here, I could eat for at least 15 days. There is a distinct advantage to a mother who understands the art of canning and who shares. :)
The office is outfitted with a propane grill & a freshly stocked fridge. Depending on how many of us got stuck here, we could last a week at least, probably 2.
I posted a picture of our disaster preparedness food/water closet. We have enough food to last us approximately two months. I add something to the closet every time I go grocery shopping.
If I had electricity still, I could last at least two months. I have a freezer full of elk and deer meat, chickens that would give me eggs, plenty of dandelions to make salad with and a few roosters, that although they are loved, would have to make the ultimate sacrifice. If I lost power, I could last about two weeks.
Could probably survive for about 12 days being frugal. Camping cookery and propane in garage, and plenty of canned food.
I could last about 3-4 weeks, Shopping at Costco I purchase the items that can be used in an emergency like Granola Bars and canned chicken.
If I am at the office, I could last for a very long time. If I were at home, I could go over three days, but the grocery store is across the street. If I were stuck in my car, 3 days. If I were on the bus, 1 day.
Could probably last 2 - 3 weeks. Some food in the freezer with several milk jugs of ice (in case the power goes, to maintain some chill). A small supply of propane on the grill will allow basic cooking and a lot of rice, ramen, some garden items, etc.
